Assassin, calm down

Seven years ago, the crown prince of Shun Kingdom lived in the palace.

The fourth prince touched the cat in his hand, half leaned on the couch, enjoying the afternoon sun.The cat narrowed its eyes, turned over, and let the fourth prince touch its soft belly and white fluff.

Suddenly, a person's angry scream came from the outer hall, accompanied by the sound of flipping the table: "This vicious woman!"

The fourth prince suddenly sat up straight and was taken aback for a moment.

The outer hall immediately returned to calm, only the eunuch Lian deliberately lowered his voice, but he didn't know what he said.

The fourth prince stood up slowly holding the cat, and walked towards the outer hall gropingly.As soon as he arrived at the door, Yan Yunze yelled angrily in a low voice: "This is my prince's palace! Are there any ears in the walls?!"

"The prince calm down..."

"One day, I will tear this woman into pieces and avenge my own mother and concubine!"

The fourth prince was still in a daze, the cat in his hand "meowed" and rushed out, only to hear Yan Yunze's voice slow down: "Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"

"I just happened to walk past..."

"Go back inside and rest."

The fourth prince groped and walked over to him. After walking a few steps, someone grabbed his hand.The fourth prince quickly grabbed Yan Yunze's hand: "Brother, don't be angry..."

Yan Yunze: "..."

After a while, he suppressed and said: "Go back and rest first, let me be quiet."

Fourth Prince: "You can stay here quietly, I will sit with you..."

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince opened his dull eyes, groped and sat down on the couch.After a long time, he heard a sigh, and ran out alone, when suddenly something lay on his lap.

The fourth prince stroked Yan Yunze's hair and forehead: "Don't be angry, brother..."

His hand was grabbed, and the palm of his hand brushed Yan Yunze's warm lips, and then brushed the moisture on his cheeks. The fourth prince only heard Yan Yunze choked up and said: "I lived with my mother and concubine until I was eight years old. I thought she died of illness." ..."

Fourth Prince: "..."

Yan Yunze: "One day I will avenge my mother and concubine..."

Fourth Prince: "..."

Yan Yunze: "What are you thinking?"

The fourth prince: "I...have been blind since I was a child, and I only know that life is the most important thing..."

He stroked Yan Yunze's forehead, grabbed his hand, and quietly did not say a word.

Half a month later, Fengyi Palace.

"Emperor, it's been a long time, and you can't tell why, how can the queen mother trust you?" The queen looked indifferent, and slowly held a cup of tea, "You don't know where you went last night, How can I help you after calling mother?"

Yan Yunze lowered his head, knelt on the ground, clenched his fists, his joints were faintly white.

"Since I was drunk last night, it's not all your fault, but Wang Cairen is three months pregnant, and you..." The queen sighed, with a hint of sadness and intolerance, "Even if the Regardless of the face of my royal family and your royal father, if she was humiliated and bled to death by you like that, I'm afraid she will die with regret."

Yan Yunze: "..."

He can't say a word now.

Last night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a palace banquet.I usually drink a lot, but I was drunk after only a few drinks, and I was so drunk that I lost consciousness.When he woke up, he was sleeping naked on the emperor's Wang Cairen's bed.The girl was bleeding from her lower abdomen, she had been dead for a long time.

He panicked, quickly put on his clothes, jumped out of the window and left. Although he was careful along the way, he still seemed to be seen.

When he returned to the palace, he was terrified and deeply regretful. He wanted to arrest his servants to ask what happened, but found that they were all knocked out last night, and some of them hadn't woken up until now.

All of this was naturally done by someone.Who did it?

Not long after, the news of Wang Cairen's death spread throughout the harem.When he was walking up and down impatiently, the queen sent someone to take him for questioning.

"Your father is furious." The queen looked at Yan Yunze's face, her tone was cold, "The crown prince lost his virtue, and he lost his virtue in the harem."

Yan Yunze couldn't even refute.It is no small matter for the prince to lose his virtue in the harem.This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my seat.

His heart felt a little cold, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, his seat could not be kept, how could he save his life?

He looked up at the queen, and saw that she hadn't concealed her feelings at this time, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "Prince, your biological mother died of illness, and the Ai family worked hard to raise you. You don't want to repay, but Want to tear Ai's family into pieces?"

Yan Yunze looked at her, fear gradually appeared in his eyes, half showing weakness, half genuine fear.Now that she is fledgling, she can know anything she says casually in her palace, so what can I use to fight her?

It was really too naive before.

While thinking wildly, an eunuch rushed over and knelt down in front of the queen, "I want to report to the queen, the emperor sent someone to take the prince to the imperial study."

The tea bowl in the queen's hand paused for a moment: "The emperor wants to see him?"

Eunuch: "Yes."

"Why?"

"Report to Empress," the eunuch knelt on the ground, "since an hour ago, His Highness the Fourth Highness has been kneeling in front of the emperor's study room, and refused to leave even if he died, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince was with him all night last night Not separated."

Yan Yunze looked at him suddenly: "Fourth brother?"

"The emperor was so entangled that he couldn't help it, so he asked someone to bring the prince there to confront him face to face."

The queen looked at Yan Yunze thoughtfully: "Understood. The Ai family took him there personally."

Eunuch: "Yes."

——————————————————————————————————————

When a group of people hurried to the front of the imperial study, the fourth prince was already kneeling a little groggy.

Yan Yunze hurriedly knelt down in front of the imperial study: "I pay my respects to my father."

Everyone saluted one after another, and no further details were allowed.

The empress looked at her words and walked into the imperial study with a smile: "This matter has already come to light, why does the emperor bother to ask again? How about the medicine that the concubine prepared for the emperor last night? Is it more comfortable to use?"

The emperor's face was very ugly, as if he had been terminally ill for a long time: "Yun Qi said that he slept with the prince all night last night, is there such a thing?"

The fourth prince nodded quickly.

Yan Yunze glanced at him and said softly, "Thank you."

The queen smiled and said: "The fourth prince and the prince have a very good relationship. It seems that seeing the prince committing crimes made him anxious, and he even ignored the crime of deceiving the emperor."

The fourth prince's face immediately turned red.When he heard about Yan Yunze's accident, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart. Knowing that the matter was of great importance, he had no other choice but to help him lie, so he came to the imperial study on the charge of deceiving the emperor, hoping to save him. Life.

Yan Yunze hurriedly calmed down and said: "My son and fourth younger brother are already old, and they hang out together all day long, which is unreasonable, so Erchen didn't mention it just now. I hope my father will learn from me."

As he spoke, Yan Yunze choked up his sobs: "Even if my son is drunk, he would never do such a frenzied thing. Wang Cairen has the flesh and blood of his father, and the person who wants to get rid of her the most is probably not my son. Father Shengming , to return my son's innocence."

"This morning, five people saw the crown prince leaving Wang Cairen's place in disheveled clothes," the empress mourned again, "Even if the crown prince is a child of the Ai family, this matter is related to the dragon's veins, and the Ai family really can't do favoritism... "

"Yun Qi, what do you say?" The emperor suddenly interrupted the two, and said to the fourth prince, "Who killed Wang Cairen?"

Yan Yunze immediately turned his head to look at the fourth prince.The queen's eyes were still on the emperor and never left.

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment: "I... I don't know. There are not many children left by the father, and there are only five children left. If the emperor's brother is convicted, then the father will lose two sons." ?"

He was also afraid that he could not explain clearly: "One is the child in Wang Cairen's womb, and the other is the emperor's brother..."

"That's true..." The emperor sighed slightly, "The widow's children are becoming less and less..."

After finishing speaking, he looked down at the table and became dazed.

Everyone looked at him without daring to move.

After a long time, the emperor waved his hand wearily: "Go, you all go. I'm going to see Wang Cairen."

——————————————————————————————————————

No one mentioned the matter of Wang Cairen again, and no one pursued it any further.

The first reason for this is that the emperor did not pursue it further.Another reason was Yan Yunze's actions.

On the night when the incident happened, Yan Yunze knelt in front of Fengyi Palace for a whole night, saying with regret that he was unfilial, and begged his mother to forgive him.In the early morning of the second day, the empress came to Fengyi Palace in person after having breakfast, and helped Yan Yunze up.

The two embraced and wept, and staged a scene of motherly kindness and filial piety.

"Prince, Aijia sees that your fourth younger brother has lost his mother since he was a child, and he is blind and has no one to take care of him," the queen said kindly, "Why don't you take him to Aijia's palace?"

Yan Yunze was startled inwardly: this stance is to hold the fourth younger brother in his hands and threaten him.If I make a little move, I am afraid that the safety of my fourth brother will also be affected.

He immediately laughed and said: "That blind man, staying in the palace is a burden. The emperor doesn't like him either. He said in the morning that he would be given a fief and told him to go out and fend for himself."

Queen: "I see that your two brothers have a very good relationship. Are you willing to send him out?"

Yan Yunze said with a smile: "What did the queen mother say? He is blind, and my minister is just playing tricks to coax him, so he takes it seriously. What happened this morning really opened my eyes."

The queen laughed: "If the emperor can really figure it out, the queen mother will be very pleased."

Yan Yunze sighed: "My son, I will never be confused again. My son's heart will be placed on my queen mother for the rest of my life."

——————————————————————————————————————

Three months later, on the outskirts of the capital.

The fourth prince was wearing a cloak, standing in front of the carriage, tilting his head to listen again.

Brother Huang, are you really not coming to see yourself off?

"Your Highness, the time has come, it's time to get on the carriage." The eunuch reminded softly.

"Wait a little longer," the fourth prince touched the small heater in his hand, "Brother Huang sent someone to tell me to wait here last night. He said he had something important to say to me..."

Eunuch: "Your Highness has been waiting for more than an hour. If you don't leave, you won't be able to make it to the top at night."

"No, I don't want to go," the fourth prince had tears rolling down his eyes, "He said he had something to say to me, I have to wait..."

Eunuch: "..."

Yan Yunze hid in the woods far away, staring closely at the man in the red cloak in front of the carriage, but he dared not take a step.The queen's people were nearby, he just discovered it just now, so he had to hide here and watch.

Finally, the man in the red cloak stood anxiously for a long time before he was embraced by the eunuchs and got into the carriage.

"Idiot, I like you...you wait for me..." Looking at the carriage going away, Yan Yunze spat out softly.

His eyes were hot, and it seemed that something hot had fallen.
